TIE NoErH CARoL1NA Press AssocIA-
TIoN
Met promptly Wednesday morning, IN
the chapel of Judson College at Hender-
sonville. Father NcRee Of the Neacs-
Observer, President of tue Association,
called the body to order. Between
thirty and forty members of the associa-
tion were present. A number more join
ed their brethren at night. Messrs
Lindsey, Secretary. and El lridge, Treas
urer, were promptly at their posts.
Rev. Joseph E. Carter, editor of the
| Western North Carolina Baptist, on behalf
of the authorities and citizens of lEender-
sonville, welcomed the association ID a
short address, full of timely suggestions
and genuine hospitality. 1t was acknow-
lodged in very graceful manner, on be-
half of the association, by Mr.. Eldridge
of Lexington.
| President Mckee delivered short but
very excellent address, making sugges
tions which if observed, can but rebound
to the greater efficiency of the associa-
ton and the up-buildinc of journalism in
North Carolina.
Several necessary committees were
appointed. A committee was appointed,
on motion of Mr.. Daniels, to invite the
distinguished Baptist Divines there
sitting on committee pertaining to mis-
sionary work in the town, to visit the
association, and occupy seats on the floor
Eof the convention. All the gentlemen
responded i'll person, and were introduc.
ed to the convention, each saying some
thing very pleasant, all something very
useful to the association, specially DR..
Ellis. whose remarks were worthy the
most thoughtful consideration OF
journalists.
The afternoon session was devoted TO
a discussion ofVarious matters pertaining
to the interests of journalism, and some
very Interesting and valuable remarks
were made.
A grand concert was given at night by
the ladies and gentlemen of the town
complimentary to the Association. Hav.
ing to return upon the evening train we
were denied the pleasure of ENJOYING this
rare compliment to the association. As
the ladies and gentlemen never tail in
such efforts, We are very sure the occls
ion was one of great pleasure to all.
Yesterday morning the association
were taken to the noted Boilston mines
r where they doubtless were given an
additional insight into the great resources
of this great country.
The sessions were resumed yesterday
: evening and last night. last night the
, lorations, &C., were delivered. Fullel
reports of the session will be given later
: The people of Henderson are doint
! everything, and doing it handsomely, f
:. entertain their guests. Private and pub
lie houses are thrown open. and commit
tees are constantly on hand to give pleas
ure and information. The association
f will certainly enjoy their stay il

train slowed down the track pre-
sented the sickening sight of being
covered with mangled bodies, the
rails being spattered with blood and
broken limbs, pieces of ragged flesh
being scattered in all directions.
Some of the bodies were mangltd
beyond description and crushed out
of all resemblance of Immunity. 70
most of the victims death must have
c1me instantly, but some of them
appeared to be yet quivering and
life ebbing way when the train was
brought to stand still. There was
only fifteen minutes delay and the
train which had wrought SO much
disaster proceeded on it way from
Allendale to Hohokus. The ques-
ton of who is to blame is
yet to be settled; but it is
claimed that it was the duty of the
foreman of the gang of iaborers tc
watch for the approaching trains at
so dangerous curve and that he
must have neglected to give the
HIllEttCs 44I w II. 41uu-

which was behind the Chicago Ex-
press in conversation with report

most sickening that could be wit

'swere arms, legs, irurks, and other
fparts ofybeesiag, asd t5eSser.,sks for \
Hong distance were slippery with
blood. The disaster must have ta-
ken place with such appalling sud
denness that the men did not know
of it till the train was down upon
them. The conductor of the train
on which L rode said that the train
hands of the Express were not to
blame; he believed the foreman OF
the gang was responsible for the
disaster by neglecting to give the

Interesting story ola Ring.

Giles Busby, Toledo fshmong-
er was cleaning a whitefsh last
week; in the larger intestines of the
fish he found diamond ring. The
ring had engraved upon its inner
surface 'J. A. B., Chicago. o9."
Busby forwarded the ring to the
chief of police in that city. Last
Wednesday Mrs. Julia A Lennox,
of r2 Lennox-Place, Chicago, ident-
fled and recovered the ring. She
tells an interesting story of its loss,
In 1869 she, as Miss Bennett. be
came engaged to Mr.. Lennox, and
he gave her this diamond ring, for
which he paid $3.50. Upon their
bridal tri p in 1871 Mrs. Lennox lost
this ring; while she was washing
her hands in the toilet-room Of the
Pullman Car the ring slipped
through the waste-pipe. As the
train happened to be crossing the
bridge over the St. Lawrence river,
ncas Montreal, just at that time, thg
bereaved bride had no hope Of rp%
covering the ring. There are nc
wh;teti.h h in The St. Lawrence. This
theory is that small fish seized
upon the ring, and that at some fu-
tur time this small fish, wnilc crui.-
ing about the lakes, fell ii prey to the
whiieiish in which the long-lost ring
was discovered. Giles Busby, the
Toledo fishmonger, received from
Mr.. Lcnnox check for $40 Tor his
| honesty.

New York. July 21.-One of
those frightful accidents which
come witt, appalling suddenness
where no apparent reason why they
could not he easily averted, took
place this morning On Erie Railroad
between Allendale and Hohoku.
The catastrophe was attended with
an appalling loss of life, and over
a dozen mangled bodies on the track
attested the neglect of some one
whose duty it should have been to
give warning of impending disaster.
A gang of Italian laborers were at
work, blasting OH the railroad lit :,

about three fourths ola mile above
Hoholus. The Chicago express
was due an hour before and

whose foreman should have given

TIE NEW WArER.WoRKs.

Ex-Alderman Powell expresses full
confidence in the success of the new wa
ter-works. He also says that over two
thousand dollars of the contract price are
still reserved and the contract is such
that of the machinery now nSed is not
sufficient that the contractor will have to
supply such as will be, at his own cost.
IT the authorities would have these
contracts published SO che public could
see them and judge of their character
dnubt.e1-,Yvery much misapprt hension
now Sling would be removed The
failure C3the new works to render much
needed Service this summer has given
| rise to much speculation as to the nature
OF the work, or rath the IacfliclepcV of
the work. and no effort has beGn to ken to
give the public such infcl ssian as was
wanted, andtrs u e 8 Ciic, whose servants
mot bosses-the authorities are and
whose money they use, had right to
have, and have furnished in such a way
that it could reach the public --s-,
We are pleased with Mr.. Powell's
statement, and pleased he felt inclined
to make it. The public are not disposed
to be unreasonable, but when their SER
wants assume TO perform duty for them
using their funds therefor, and the results
of such effort may be unsatisfactory
either for delay or other causes, the
authorities should hasten to give all the
information possible, in such way that
all can see for themselves and consider
for themselves.
The city is full of rumors, many grave
insinuations, against the management OF
the water-works and the electric light
matters, some of these even impugnine
the integrity of one or more of the
authorities We have no cognizance of
such, for if reason enough exists to base
a charge or belief upon. the knowing
ones should have the courage and the
manhood to make explicit charges and
lodge them directly. In justice to the
parties involved the fullest examina
ton should be had at once, ard the full
est information given. While the CITIZEN
exacts good faith on the part of all, of;
tcals and contractors, it wishes full
justice and fairness done all, and the
public are likewise inclined. We have
no axes to grind or enemies to punish
Let the authorities look into the mana re
ment cf affairs and ascertain if there be
grounds for the rumors which are openly
circulated; and above all, let them exact
such fnlflment of contracts as will securi
to the public the benefits of the enter
prises for which their money has already
been very largely expended, and the ust
of which they stand in immediate need
